ROADS on a new housing estate are finally set to be "adopted" by the county council after remedial work is carried out over the next two months.

The roads in Hawkesbury Village include Sephton Drive, Stockley Road, Waterside, Heritage Drive and Aspen Drive.

The council is then expected to start the process of adopting the cul-de-sac of Sephton Drive and Sinclair Drive.

The Hawkesbury Village Residents Association (HVRA) has pledged to pursue the relevant parties to make sure other, older roads are adopted as soon as possible in the area, such as those off Lymington Drive - some of which were laid more than five years ago.
